Poll: HD cooling and brake package

RedonBlackRS · 03-30-2018, 11:27 AM

Hi everybody!

I would like to know how many of you would've bought the HD package on your 2.0T Camaros had the option been available in your dealer's inventory on your identical car.

I'm asking for semi-scientific purposes, because I'm assisting in ordering inventory at a relatively high-volume dealer.

Also, feel free to mention anything else you have optioned on your cars that you are particularly enjoying!

Thank you!

I didn't know much about the HD package. I got the cheapest one because my credit allowed me. If I had the choice again, I would do the RS w/HD cooling. However is the HD package even offered for the manual trans? because I would choose manual before HD package

It is available with the manual! Thank you for asking! It just adds, per Chevrolet:
External engine oil cooler
Extra capacity cooling system
Brembo 4-piston front, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes
(When ordered with the 2.0L Turbo engine, also includes an auxiliary engine coolant cooler)
All for $995
the extra coolers are mounted outboard of the regular radiator stack and one is horizontal in front of the rest, so the grille has extra slats cut in on the sides where the standard cars are completely closed off.

Gotcha.. I may end up adding these in. I just need to replace the wheel liner and things. Would you know what all parts would need to be swapped for adding the auxillary coolers? I already have a Mishimoto oil cooler, would be nice to add the extra coolant one and maybe trans or rear end for the other

Nothing I have money for right now but i'm definitely watching this.

Now, I think you are required to have a 20" wheel to get this package as well. Not necessarily the RS package, but a 20 LPO wheel selected. If my exact car was there with the HD package, it would have been another 1795$ MSRP extra. I would have to pass. Too much. If I wanted an RS, then all day long YES at 995$ extra.

Over here we don't have a choice lol, the car comes fully loaded, with sunroof, nav and wheel color as the only option. The Brembos sure look good, but as a total look goofy with the rear ones being so 'standard'
Sorry got no scientific facts for ya

Agreed. I just got the brembos installed up front and the rears look so funny.

I run a LT, but its a v6... however just wanted to say, if you can get it....get it from the factory. I've priced it out to add aftermarket and just the cooling part alone is around 700$ so far. given the fact you get the brakes with it, its well worth the price.

StPeteHyper2.0 · 03-30-2018, 04:00 PM

I figure you would just need the right plastic air diverters, inner liner (which may be able to be cut out with vent to be installed), and mounting brackets. I would get the necessary hoses and aux coolers from Mishimoto.

You'll also need a new radiator as it has the fittings to connect to the new auxiliary ones. There's also a crossover pipe, and misc hoses.

The mishimoto stuff isn't cheap so the price using those over stock will be higher.

The lowest prices way would be to buy the setup used from a car that's been wrecked on the side of rear

outobie · 04-15-2018, 01:04 PM

I would definitely buy it but I don’t seems to be the norm

I wanted a convertible commuter sportscar with a back seat.
I only considered ones with the 2.0t engine and the most options I could find.
I have rs 2lt

I added the Brembo brakes later wish I had full factory Hd kit and MRC SUSPENSION

Corner carver · 04-16-2018, 05:39 AM

There's no MRC on turbo camaro's that I'm aware... Would definitely get the car with the HD cooling/brembros; ordered mine with this option.
